IMPROVEMENT IN PUMPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,024, dated February.27, 1872.

Specification describing an Improvement in Pumps, invented by RIVER-AWARD, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey.

My invention relates to an improvement in all that class of well andcistern pumps in which the bore is of such size as to admit of thewiththe object of my invention being to reduce the capacity of the borebetween the vent and discharge, thereby enabling the water to be broughtto discharge with less number of strokes of the plunger than withoutsaid bushing. A rod is secured to the bushing, and extending up issecured to the top of the pump by means of a hook, screw, or otherconvenient mode, thereby holding the bushing in its proper position. Thebushing being fitted loosely-to bore of pump can readily be withdrawnwith the plunger whenever it becomes necessary to repair the latter.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of a pump embodying my invention. Fig. 2is a perspective View of my invention withdrawn from the pump.

A is the bushing. B is the rod secured to the bushing A at one end, andto the top of the pump at the other. 0 is the plunger. D the plunger-rodconnected to the handle E. F is the body of the pump, in which theplunger 0 works. G is the spout or discharge. H is the vent, the objectof which is that the water may run down to that level within a shorttime after the pump has been used, to prevent the water from freezing inwinter and becoming warm and stale in summer.

The objection to venting has been heretofore the greatly increased labornecessary to cause a flow of water, which objection my inventionobviates, as with it, when properly constructed and applied, the firstfull stroke of the plunger fills the water-way of the bushing A, and atthe second stroke water flows from the spout or discharge G.

I claim as my invention- 1. The bushing A, substantially as and for thepurpose hereinbefore set forth.

2. The rod B, in connection with the bushing A, substantially as and forthe purpose hereinbefore set forth.
